Designing apartment buildings is one of the most responsible tasks since it has the largest effect on the users and is their closest interaction with the built environment. People spend the most time in their homes and therefore it is imperative to explore all aspects of housing with the goal of understanding and subsequently improving the living conditions. Architectural research in housing is mostly focused on urban planning and on spatial characteristics of the apartments but there are other areas which need to be considered, such as the structural aspect. The structural elements of the buildings are primarily important for the building stability, but also for the living comfort. Additionally, the choice of the structural elements influences both the building cost and the time needed for construction. Development of new materials and technologies has enabled faster and cheaper construction of apartment buildings of higher quality and has opened up new architectural design possibilities. The goal of this paper is to identify the time periods of predominant use of certain materials and structural systems in apartment buildings and to show the evolution of construction technologies through the prism of residential architecture. The sample used in this research consists of apartment buildings in Osijek, Croatia constructed from 1930 to 2015.

In heritage preservation projects, the main aim is to preserve the authenticity, and one of the most interesting and important elements of heritage is its materiality. The materiality of heritage, as such, combines its cultural, historical, artistic and architectural characteristics, and thus, materiality preservation affects its many values, but most of all - on its authenticity. Preservation of material authenticity by following “truth to materials” concept is a complex process, and it depends on many factors, such as conservation-science studies, interdisciplinary approach, architects ideology, technical solutions, etc. This paper discusses methods, technical solutions, as well as architectural approaches for different heritage preservation projects, intending to analyse preservation of the material authenticity critically. Different methods of “revealing” the truth of heritage could lead to different interpretations of “truth to materials” concept in preservation projects. For example, these architectural-conservation approaches could be a traditional one, like bringing the original appearance with the reconstruction of missing parts using original materials from authentic material sources and application techniques, or different and experimental approaches of creating new materials which will be incorporated in the (fragments of a) historical building. The hypothesis of the paper considers that preserving the truth imply to preserve properties and qualities of a material that are not primary, but its poetic, sensuous qualities, that could be felt by all senses. These qualities embed only in specific architectural contexts generated in special conditions. This also leads to proposal for new valorisation of materials, and it could be concluded that this is necessary for the preservation project to be successful, and for authenticity to be preserved.

Many heritage areas, with different typologies, problems, and existing levels of decays, in several countries, were left abandoned and causing various economic, social, and urban complications. Some typologies of urban heritage areas often found in previous studies are ex-colonial settlement, industrial cultural-heritage, park, ancient cemetery, etc. The typical problems that repeatedly occurred, such as decays, depreciation of land value, and safety/security issues, show that although located in different places, urban heritage areas might face the same glitches. The existing condition of those places are ranging from relatively well preserved, regular, medium severe, severely damaged, and even totally damaged, thus needed to be taken care of using different conservation approaches; preservation, reconstruction, restoration, and (or) adaptation. Despite the current conditions, such sites are nowadays considered as an essential part of humans’ and cities’ history. Some of those heritage sites face challenges in gaining sustainable conservation in cultural, environmental, social, economic, and territorial aspects. They usually have been left behind by their “enablers” that previously led the growth of these areas, not to mention the specific and latent characteristics of the urban heritage area that could be very different from today’s urban ecosystem. One current case worth to be observed is Semarang Old City (Kota Lama Semarang), a previously abandoned ex-Dutch colonial towns located in Java Island, Indonesia, that shows interesting trends of ups and downs throughout this last century. This urban heritage area, being left abandoned for decades, finally emerges as a new tourism destination in Central Java province within the last couple of years. The booming visits of tourists and enthusiasts is a remarkable phenomenon to be studied since numbers of researches on the same cases in other countries show various impacts regarding the sustainability of such urban heritage areas. This article aims to identify the strategic approach in the revitalization of the Semarang Old City urban heritage area using six critical steps from the Historic Urban Landscape Approach and principles of Urban Facility Management. METHODOLOGY: This qualitative study uses literature research and observational technique to obtain information and conduct a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon; RESULTS: the matriculation table resulted in this article is a useful resource to understand the strategic approach in the management of urban heritage conservation, so that the stakeholders of any specific urban heritage in general, and Kota Lama Semarang in specific, could benefit from the knowledge, and therefore contribute more according to their individual and collective roles; TYPE OF PAPER: Viewpoint paper.
在一些国家，许多具有不同类型、问题和现有腐朽程度的遗产地区被遗弃，造成了各种经济、社会和城市并发症。以往研究中经常发现的城市遗产地类型有前殖民聚落、工业文化遗产地、公园、古墓园等。从不断出现的老化、地价贬值、安全保障等典型问题来看，城市遗产区虽然位于不同的地方，但可能面临同样的问题。这些地方的现有状况从保存较好、正常、中等严重、严重破坏甚至完全破坏不等，需要采取不同的保护措施;保存、重建、恢复和(或)适应。尽管目前的条件，这些遗址现在被认为是人类和城市历史的重要组成部分。其中一些遗产在文化、环境、社会、经济和领土等方面面临着可持续保护的挑战。它们通常被之前引领这些地区增长的“推动者”所抛弃，更不用说城市遗产地区的具体和潜在特征，这些特征可能与今天的城市生态系统截然不同。目前值得注意的一个例子是三宝垄老城(Kota Lama Semarang)，这是印度尼西亚爪哇岛上一个废弃的前荷兰殖民城镇，在上个世纪显示出有趣的起伏趋势。这个被遗弃了几十年的城市遗产区，在过去的几年里终于成为中爪哇省的一个新的旅游目的地。游客和爱好者的激增访问是一个值得研究的显著现象，因为其他国家对相同案例的大量研究表明，这些城市遗产地区的可持续性受到了各种影响。本文旨在利用历史城市景观方法和城市设施管理原则中的六个关键步骤，确定三宝郎旧城城市遗产区振兴的战略方法。方法:本定性研究采用文献研究法和观察法，获取资料，对现象进行综合分析;结果:本文得出的入选表是了解城市遗产保护管理战略方法的有用资源，因此任何特定城市遗产的利益相关者，特别是哥打喇嘛三宝垄，都可以从这些知识中受益，从而根据他们的个人和集体角色做出更多贡献;论文类型:观点论文。

The position of towns in the traditional hierarchy was clear and defined. Their place and importance were defined by their structure, contents, and functions. Compared to cities, they had harmonized relationships that were more or less balanced and mutually beneficial. In towns, people lived in the conditions they provided, and migratory flows were a necessary consequence of the gravitational impacts of cities. Nowadays, city digitization has become a reality. The notion of the so-called digital or “smart city” encompasses, first and foremost, large and medium-sized cities, filling their urban parameters with the values given by computer science, from the planning process to the smallest streams and services in the processes of urban life. This “city in a city” or invisible city that constantly flows and manages the flows of everyday city needs has expanded into a global net they can no longer escape from. Cities need this as such globalization has given a whole new dimension to their existence and functioning. What about the position of towns? Are they necessarily sucked in and involved in this process of connection, or are they isolated and left to themselves? It would be logical to expect them to be part of one such global integration. But is it really so? By its very nature, a town has low resources and potentials, and it could be incorporated into a broader integrative process primarily from that point of view. Increasing these resources would necessarily mean that it would grow into a city, which could not be expected in most cases. The first issue would lie in the very desire (ability) of a town to become a city. Abandoning such a desire would confirm the path to (self) isolation. The very position of a town could thus be found in proper assessing of its contents and fitting into the network of integrated cities and areas that is constantly growing and developing. Who could do this and in what way? A modern digital city has a large and well-developed power to manage its urban flow from the biggest issues to the smallest detail. That power, capacity, impact, and reach could be channeled to towns to provide them with the services they need.

Trip generation and trip distribution are the first steps in conventional four-step travel demand modelling. Four-step travel demand model is the most used methodology for creating validated data regarding travel demand and traffic flows in a defined area, territory or city. Trip generation calculates number of trips that are produced or attracted from specific area or a territory, while trip distribution determines how many trips are conducted from one area to another (or zone). Slavonski Brod is one of the largest cities (7th) in the Republic of Croatia and it is the centre of Brodsko-posavska County. Public transport in the City of Slavonski Brod is organized by a private operator with eight defined bus lines and with more than 70 departure from 5AM to 11PM during a characteristic workday. Used data for determining trip generation and trip distribution was collected during a questionnaire survey conducted during the project development of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the City Slavonski Brod. Goal of paper is to detect how household characteristics influences trip rate values and origin-destination matrices between various areas of the City for trips in the public transport. The paper will consist of an introduction, literature overview, methodology of data collection, results of trip production, trip attraction and origin-destination matrix, discussion about calculated vales and conclusion.

The use of green walls (also commonly referred to as living walls or vertical gardens) is not a new concept in building envelopes. Integrating vegetation in architectural structures may be a sustainable approach to the construction of façades of the new and existing structures. Green walls belong to the highly innovative and the fastest developing concepts of green building technology. This fact is supported by the examples of structures originally built with green walls which greatly add to the total visual appeal of buildings and are an important factor in the improvement of their thermal characteristics. Green walls have their own aesthetic values which are in direct correlation with human interaction aimed at creating visual diversity within urban spaces. Artistic perception of green walls of the recent era has radically changed, along with the new technological possibilities, their further development and application in the designing effort to formulate shape and materialization as a spatial structure with the already known aspects of traditional modelling. Green walls appear in space as elements carrying artistic application and sculptural creation in spatial architectural form of structures. Greening and preserving urban spaces have become important issues in considering conditions for designing architectural structures and redefining the relation between technology, energy and shaping, with the possibility of applying green walls in the architectural transformation process of the urban space. Green walls have raised new aesthetic issues, which are in direct correlation with technical solutions.

This paper presents the considered capabilities to improve space cooling energy efficiency in the Mediterranean climate ambience by merging and optimizing selected natural ventilative techniques. The first part of this analysis defines a set of control strategies based on specific configurations of cross ventilation and fan-assisted advanced natural ventilation. The objective is to take advantage of principally lower nocturnal temperature ranges, due to being less affected by the current climate change effects, and to reflect such a potential in the reduction of day-time cooling energy loads. The second part of the study examines the integration of defined control strategies into a climate responsive building form of a mid-rise office-type building positioned in three different geograph ical locations along the Catalonian coastline—the cities of Barcelona, Terrassa and Tarragona. In order to provide a comparative overview of energy efficiency for each applied control strategy, the building model is exposed parallel to present and future estimated climate change effects in the building performance simulation environment while the general control and adjustments of established indoor airflow patterns are done by computational fluid dynamics analyses. The generated output demonstrates that under the present-day climate conditions the achieved reduction of cooling energy demands is in the range between 53% and 65%. Looking further at the horizon of 2050, it accounts between 58% and 62%, while in 2080 the overall cut in cooling energy demands is between 54% and 57%. The comparative overview indicates that despite the rise of day-time temperatures due to climate change effects, the proposed bioclimatic responsive building form based on lower nocturnal temperatures displays considered capabilities in cutting cooling energy demands in the Mediterranean climate ambiance in mid- and long-term periods in the future.
